1179 | | Active aging and eco-smart cities | Luisa Carbone (1); Daniela La Foresta (2); Tony Urbani (3)

The session aims to investigate three areas which, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic, have influenced the so-called «active ageing», representing an important opportunity to understand the different forms of green sociality and to set up a sustainable technological urban culture oriented towards cohesion and inclusion.
In the Western European countries three-quarters of the elderly population live in cities, consequently the urban context emerges as one of the most important territorial areas, in which green resilience is a challenge to face.
This challenge requires the achievement of a balance between social and technological innovation, as well as the participation of the most fragile and vulnerable citizens through awareness-boosting activities of the urban info-scape.
In other words, the three factors of accessibility, safety, and livability of the urban environment, referring to the elderly, condition the sustainability of our cities.
The widespread awareness of environmental problems, the growing attention to the landscape transformations and the desire for naturalness are the basis of the topics of the session, which aims to rethink the management of urban spaces and their usability in terms of adaptation and mitigation of climate change and environmental crises.
